I'm going to come right out and say it: I HATE Honest Ed's. Why? Have you ever been to Honest Ed's Big Birthday? Let me tell you my story:
So I used to do promo for a radio station which included us giving out product from our latest sponsor Snapple. So my interns and I headed down to Honest Ed's cause we figured there would be enough people around. No, it was his birthday and there were HOARDS of people around. Now if you know the people that shop at Ed's you know they're wicked cheap, which isn't a bad thing - but it IS a bad thing when you are giving away free things outside a wicked cheap store with hoards of crazy wicked cheap people.
I was clawed by an angry little old asian woman who really wanted to get her snapple on. I had scars. NOT HAPPY. I then had to pee and got lost in Ed's while my interns continued to get attacked on the outside by an angry raspberry ice tea lovin' mob.
Okay so admittedly maybe my hate for Ed's isn't directly related to the store itself but its all about the whole experience you know?
BUT I will give it this - I showed up for a dinner date really early last week and decided to give Ed's another go - and in their kids section for $2 each they had a onesie for the kid that said "I want Sushi" and another that said "I'm with Stupid". AMAZING!! So the store can have some clever and wicked cheap stuff.
But I'll be damned if I'm ever going back there with Snapple.
